Fresh Off the Boat (TV Tie-In Edition) A Memoir

Brash and funny . . . outrageous, courageous, moving, ironic and true. New York Times Book Review
 
Mercilessly funny and provocative, Fresh Off the Boat is also a serious piece of work.  Eddie Huang is hunting nothing less than Big Game here. He does everything with style. Anthony Bourdain
 
Bawdy and frequently hilarious . . . a surprisingly sophisticated memoir about race and assimilation in America . . . as much James Baldwin and Jay-Z as Amy Tan . . . rowdy [and] vital . . . It s a book about fitting in by not fitting in at all. Dwight Garner, The New York Times
 
Uproariously funny . . . emotionally honest. Chicago Tribune
 
Huang is a fearless raconteur. [His] writing is at once hilarious and provocative; his incisive wit pulls through like a perfect plate of dan dan noodles. Interview
 
Although writing a memoir is an audacious act for a thirty-year-old, it is not nearly as audacious as some of the things Huang did and survived even earlier. . . . Whatever he ends up doing, you can be sure it won t look or sound like anything that s come before. A single, kinetic passage from Fresh Off the Boat . . . is all you need to get that straight.
